00:28 We have dedicated ourselves to addressing the dynamic and evolving challenges that confront
00:34 our nation's security.
00:35 The security environment is extremely challenging right now and I want to thank my friend and
00:41 partner General Bronner for his leadership.

01:10 All of the EDCA sites are sovereign Philippine territory.
01:14 (Foreign Language)
01:23 The United States has identified investment of almost $110 million to those sites.
01:30 I would like to say that the Philippine government is also spending for these EDCA sites, primarily
01:38 because these are our own camps.
01:40 (Foreign Language)
01:52 All of this joint operations, even the selection of our EDCA sites, has nothing to do with
02:00 the other countries in the Indo-Pacific region.
02:04 So, the viability of those sites for assistance, for training, and for interoperability is
02:11 really the key.
02:12 But let there be no doubt, those are sovereign Philippine locations.
02:16 (Foreign Language)
02:29 On joint patrols, joint drills, what about a joint forward base?
02:32 Is that, can we do that?
02:35 All I know is about the EDCA site in Malabac.
02:38 The forward base in KIG is something that we haven't talked about.
02:44 I'm not aware of any effort to establish a forward base in KIG.
02:49 But in Talayan Island group.
02:52 (Foreign Language)
03:08 We'll continue to do that for the long term.
03:11 Ultimately, to ensure that we can maintain the freedom of the seas, freedom of airspace,
03:18 so that all the nations in the region can enjoy peace and prosperity.
03:21 (Foreign Language)
03:31 Think about this.
